The closed qualifier for Stake Ranked Episode 5 has concluded with Eternal Fire and Nemesis earning their tickets to the main LAN event.
Gareth "MisteM" Ries and his team fought their way through the bracket, defeating WBT, Nuclear TigeRES, and K27 to secure qualification. On the opposite side, Nemesis claimed their spot with wins over Rune Eaters, Sashi, and fnatic.
Both qualifying squads currently sit outside the expected Major invite list, but they still have a legitimate opportunity to punch their ticket to Singapore. The timing of Stake Ranked Episode 5 could prove pivotal in this quest.
Scheduled for October 27-30, the tournament arrives at a critical moment for teams chasing VRS points before the November 2 invite deadline. With $100,000 on the line, every match carries significant weight.
The event will also feature notable names including Astralis, MIBR, and B8 among the participant roster, promising competitive matches throughout the tournament.
